almost all who responded just gave a childish response rather than a valid point.

again, why should i buy the D800 instead of D800E or D600 or even the K5IIs? what can the D800 give me that the D800E can't? soft images across the iso range and noisy ones in hi-ISO?

You should not buy either D800 model if you don't have enough insight to distinguish between their individual qualities. Soft images? Practice raw image processing and you will learn that sharp is a better word. Noisy in hi-ISO? If you want lower noise, the D600 is better (as you have shown). The D800 models fare equal regarding noise. So in essence, the D600 is better if you want FX format, if you want DX format the K5IIs is good.

don't tell me abo0ut raw, i shoot raw 100%.

what can D800 give me that the D800E can't?

Why not do what most intelligent people would do and rent them so you can answer this question yourself??? Or you can continue to contentiously ask for advice from complete strangers in an anonymous internet forum and assume you'll get good info to base a $3K purchase decision on....
